This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. When you’ve got it, you’ve got it. So I’ve got allergies. I’ve got a big bark.
I’ve got the best big brother in the world.
But I have also got a collection of fancy collars. Not everyone may think that they are fancy.
But to a dog, when you have a collar on, that means you belong to someone.

You are part of a family. You are fancy like that. I love being fancy like that.


Since we are taking a boat from the New York place to the England place at the start of our journey, that made me think.


The persons dress up for dinner some nights.
But why don’t they think every dinner is fancy? I sure do.
Every meal is a reason to celebrate. Because not everyone gets a meal every day. I know about that. So I really am feeling fortunate.
And I really think it’s time to put on my best collar. Because I want to show my appreciation.


Do we show our appreciation for what we have? Or do we just complain about the things that we don’t have? It’s so easy to do that. Especially when you get penne pasta and you really wanted bucatini.
It could be easy to concentrate on the parts of the ship journey we are worried about. Like not being able to sleep together at night.

Like if we all will get seasick. And I’m talking about Boy Person. That’s what I hear…

So everyday, think about what you have. Put on your best face of appreciation. And put on your best collar. May 26th is coming fast. I better get back to packing.

Aww I hope you don’t get seasick🤑. But can’t use dramimine or the patch due to being allergic. So I have found sea bands. They go on your wrist and have acupressure ball that pushes on the inside of the wrist and it works…thank goodness cause I do like to go on boats but couldn’t for a while until I found these. GP I will message you a screen shot so you can get them for BP…
Good morning Brickle and Fruitycake have a great day 🙂❤️🐾🐕🦺
